Woman Arrested For Vehicular Manslaughter For Olive Road Crash
May 24, 2013
An Escambia County woman has been charged in connection with a traffic death on Olive Road last month.
Candace Marie McArthur, 25, was arrested Thursday on a charge of vehicular homicide. She was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
The Florida Highway Patrol said at 2:18 a.m. on April 28, 25-year old McArthur was closely following another vehicle westbound on Olive Road. Troopers said McArthur had been involved in an altercation with the other unidentified driver earlier in the evening.
The driver of the other vehicle switched into the opposite lane and braked to avoid McArthur’s 2002 Chevrolet Impala. McArthur lost control and over-corrected. The Impala slid across Olive Road and onto the shoulder before hitting tree.
McArthur was taken to Sacred Heart Hospital with serious injuries. Her passenger, 19-year old Cassidy Dunaway was transported to Sacred Heart in critical condition and was pronounced deceased the following day.

Well, Here is to more children growing up without their mother. She better be so thankful that her mother is there for her babies. Maybe time behind bars will help her be a better mother. I highly doubt it.
Bout time they charged her!
Yea she needs to grow up a lot, and do it behind bars, let her reflect on the total irresponsibility she exhibited that led up to someone dying. Save the comments on she made a mistake…fact is she made a stupid idiotic decision old enough to know better… stupid is indeed as stupid does…driving is not a right…and I hope you have lost the priviledge permanently as well as your freedom for awhile
Wow, I hope it was worth your “road rage” or aggrevation towards someone else. Sounds like Ms McArthur needs to grow up a little. Maybe this will be her wake up call.
